Blind Item #5

This A list photographer has always been a pig but he used to have someone watching him to make sure he was less of a pig

. That person isn't there any longer and unless you are a celebrity the only way this photographer will take your photo is if you give him sex of some kind. He usually records the sex and the model telling the camera it is consensual.

Terry Disgusting Revolting Richarsdon. Talk about promoting pedophilia culturally, his work (or ownership) with American Apparel, how they brand their products, really upsets me. I will cross the street to avoid their stores and posters. That much.Lobotomies please!

Also how did his involvement with the dead playboy model, who died in his apartment during/after a shoot, get so swept under the rug – @hollywood dime, anything you know about this media coverup?

JAS, I think it is implied that there is an element of coercion. I will not photograph you unless you let me fuck you type of thing and avoids any kind of repercussions by having these women say on film that the sex was consensual. Basically, he is extorting sex hence the ickiness. Because he is just gross.

@Sugar — a model named Jamie Peck wrote about her experiences with him. She told him she was having her period, he asked for her used tampon to make tea with, she declined. Evidently, I was so traumatized by the article, I remembered it as he actually made the tea. And that's how rumors get started, right? 😉

@JAS It is coercion. Because if you don't have sex with him, you won't get photographed for the shoot. Then you get labeled "difficult," then you don't get work.

It's a domino effect. You don't get to pick who shoots you, you don't get to pick what you wear on a shoot. To photographers, you don't really have any rights and if you want to pay your rent, you go along with it, because you don't have a choice.

Yes it appears we forget that men and women in the entertainment industry are subject to the same sexual harrassment laws as all other professions and businesses. Just because it has operated like that for decades doesn't make it right. Uncle Terry is no different than the manager at McDonalds.

Does that mean his brother that died late last yr, or did his woman leave him? I can't peruse Uncle Terry's feeds. They make me feel like I need a shower. He doesn't pull this crap on famous ppl. I know two ppl he's shot. Nothing.

Totally Uncle T. I'd never heard about him having a minder before though. The stories about his sets are pretty outrageous and notorious already so if he was doing all that stuff before WITH someone there to "make sure he was less of a pig" I can only IMAGINE what type of shenanigans he might be up to now…Good lord.

Blondie!, nobody needs to be photographed by any given photographer. What's it worth to you to be photographed by this one?

If the sexes were reversed — or the photographer presumed to be the one in question were a hell of a lot more attractive — nobody would have a case of the galloping icks.

It's clear that the models are willing to trade sex for being photographed by this guy. They're not at gunpoint, they're making their own decisions. If having pics by this guy in their portfolios weren't worth it to them, they could say, "No" and go on their way.

@JAS if the magazine hires him as a photographer, the model doesn't have a choice, it's that simple.And as much as I hate to say this, having him shoot you is like getting a seal of approval. So if he approaches you and wants to shoot you, if you're in the business you say yes. It's easier to bad mouth someone and gossip gets around fast.

@JAS following your logic then … if your boss told you that you were getting promoted BUT you had to have sex with your boss to get said promotion and you agreed, that would be okay because it was consensual?

Everytime I see that a celebrity has posed for Uncle Terry, I lose tons of respect for them. Luckily, they're usually celebrities I didn't have much respect for in the first place. He's GROSS and his pictures are a joke. "Edgy" my ass.

Uncle Terry is a rich dick who never grew up. I can't believe his pictures got him to A-list with such a feeble, one-note talent. Someday the fashion archives will show Avedon, Newton, Ritts, Meisel, ….Richardson? We live in the lowest of low times.
